How to test a container

Reviewed on August 11, 2025

This page shows you how to execute Serverless Containers from the Scaleway console. The Test feature of a container allows you to run your code using a selection of methods to make sure it behaves as expected.

Before you start

To complete the actions presented below, you must have:

• A Scaleway account logged into the console
• Owner status or IAM permissions allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
• Created a container

1. Click Containers in the Serverless section of the side menu. The containers page displays.

2. Click the relevant containers namespace. A list of your containers displays.

3. Click the name of the container you want to test.

4. Open the Test tab.

5. Select the method you want to use from the drop-down menu.

6. Enter the path to your container. Leave the default / value if the host of your container is not located in a specific folder.

7. Click + Advanced options to add any required HTTP header or parameter to your container.

8. Copy the generated command, then execute it in a terminal.

   Note

   Testing a private container requires you use an authentication token as a header, as shown below:

   export $TOKEN=<YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN>
   curl -H "X-Auth-Token: $TOKEN" \ <YOUR_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT>

The output of your terminal displays the response from your container, and the status code.
